Erica Garner has died on Saturday, days after suffering a heart attack. She was 27 years old.

Garner became a vocal activist against police brutality after her father, Eric Garner, died when police put him in a chokehold in 2014.

Her family posted to her Twitter account following her death.

When you report this you remember she was human: mother, daughter, sister, aunt. Her heart was bigger than the world. It really really was. She cared when most people wouldn't have. She was good. She only pursued right, no matter what. No one gave her justice.
